Photos of random items. Some reflecting a mood I am in, others for the shear joy of it. Challenge and persistence in finding that perfect shot, without manipulating the situation is key for me. No lessons here, I don't have the knowledge to teach.

I am someone who enjoys taking photos, my subjects are random, from bugs to babies. Photography is therapy for me, I have no real knowledge of the art, I am learning a bit here and there. I use an inexpensive camera.I simply love taking shots of interesting or beautiful things I see. I love the adventure of attempting to get the perfect shot. Please enjoy these photos and share them with your friends. For me the ultimate success is knowing someone may be amazed or made to smile.

The day we spent with our house guests and Lewis

These are the gifts we have received today, there is nothing we could have wanted more, than to spend the precious hours with these children.

I am not very practiced at photographing lights, not sure how to set the camera, they came out better than last year , but I still need more practice.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

I HOPE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE IN THE NEW YEAR AND THAT ALL YOUR FAMILY GETS ALONG OVER THE HOLIDAYS.....!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ONLY HAVE SO LONG TO SHARE, WHY MUCK IT UP WITH WORTHLESS ANIMOSITIES.SMILE SING AND LAUGH!
